I. AM. ANGRY. words cannot describe the anger this put me through but i’m writing this for Ravi who deserved better😌

⚠️MASSIVE SPOILERS⚠️

Firstly, the book starts off with Pip acting very out of character, from her buying drugs from the guy who supplied them to Max who used them to rape Becca and then becoming addicted to them because of her PTSD. To her ignoring her loved ones (even poor Ravi) when they are concerned for her moral character.

In the book the killer sends Pip cryptic messages asking her “whose gonna look for you when you disappear�� and this girl literally counts everyone in her life (Ravi, Connor, Jamie, Nat, Becca , her mom and dad) and is like “i mean i guess they would look for me 👉👈 but would Ravi???�� like huh?? what does he have to do to prove to you that he loves you?? he already has been through so much for Pip from rehashing the trauma from his brothers murder to helping her through the case of Child Brunswick in the previous book. I mean he literally says they are Team Pip and Ravi and she still questions his love for her. Like if that isn’t toxic idek what is.

But here is where things get crazy okay. This girl gets kidnapped by the killer and ESCAPES only to come back to MURDER THIS MAN because of her PTSD?? i’m still confused why, and then she proceeds to call Ravi to help her FRAME THE MURDER on Max. ❓⁉��
I would like to remind the audience that Ravi’s brother, Sal, was ✨MURDERED AND FRAMED�� that’s right ladies and gentlemen, and Pippus Maximus over here wants Ravi to help her FRAME a man *she* MURDERED. I don’t know if the author intended these parallels to happen but it was incredibly infuriating to read when the situation hit a little too close to home for Ravi. I mean you would think that he would have learned something from his brothers mistakes, he admitted in the previous books that he felt his brother was too naive and maybe too nice which is why he met such a terrible fate. So then why have Ravi be so willing to help Pip especially if he is supposed to be her moral compass?? make it make sense.
So, Ravi only wanting to be there for Pip because the author made him believe that she was the only thing he has left, agrees to help her hide and frame what she did 😃. The fact that the author knew that if they just made Pip do it on her own it would make her seem like a monster so they had to throw innocent, lovable, Ravi in the mix to justify her actions. I mean he literally tries to justify Pips actions FOR her. 🤧

Skipping past all of the unforgivable things that Pip did that infuriated me now so I can talk about the absolute monstrosity the ending was.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHHGHHHHHGHHHHG

PIP LITERALLY BREAKS UP WITH RAVI. ⁉️
she claims she is trying to save him from herself but she is just being a total and utterly horrible narcissist. And don’t worry i’ll explain exactly why. Ravi who had just helped her FRAME SOMEONE ELSE FOR MURDER is obviously going through it. It would be safe to assume that he would be feeling immense guilt, trauma, and remorse, especially because of his experience with his own brother getting murdered and framed. But he put all of that aside FOR PIP. You would think that after being an accomplice with someone in order to protect them you would both help each other through the experience. but NOPE. Pip got what she needed from Ravi and is now done. Pip thinks she is doing such a great job at protecting Ravi by leaving him after making him feel like she was the only person he had and abandons him to deal with it on his own.

And for those who think I’m exaggerating here is an exact quote from the book on pg 444 “Ravi broke behind her, crying out into the trees, the wind carrying his sobs over her, trying to pull her back. She kept going.�� yessir, she made this boy help her frame someone for murder only a few days ago and keep it a secret only to break up with him and walk away.

But here’s the real kicker folks, SHE DOESN’T EVEN FULLY BREAK UP WITH HIM. SHE MAKES HIM BELIEVE SHE MIGHT COME BACK. She’s like, “i can be with you if max is convicted of being guilty to the murder. So i might come back, might not 🥰�� ????? Why is she leaving him hanging?? If Pip really cared about Ravi she would break up with him and ask him to move on because she is dangerous. If she had his best interests in heart she would know that he deserved someone else and it would also add some character development because she would be SELF AWARE. It would make sense. Not her telling him they can be together if her plan which involved Ravi is successful. If she truly wanted to protect Ravi she would have LET. HIM. GO. for good.

This is only a fraction of the anger this book caused me and I literally cannot describe my thoughts accurately. But i wanted to bring some sort of justice to poor Ravi.

And so here are my final words: Ravi 🥺, you deserve better. And Pip 🤡, you’re a clown.
